If an Open Access fee has to be paid and there are authors from multiple institutions, who pays?

If the article is eligible for Open Access funds under the RCUK or COAF policy, then we will pay in the following circumstances:• The Corresponding Author is at Cambridge (even if the RCUK grant is held elsewhere).• The Corresponding Author was at Cambridge at the time the research being published was carried out.• The Corresponding Author is at a non-UK institution but there is one or more Cambridge author.• The Corresponding Author is at another UK institution, but they have no Open Access funds available.

If the Corresponding Author is at another UK institution, we will advise you on the action you need to take, but will ask you to seek funds from them in the first instance. If that is unsuccessful, please let us know.
